Smokies to Conduct Road Striping Operations

A contractor for Great Smoky Mountains National Park will perform striping operations in TN beginning Monday, May 5th through Thursday, May 22nd along the Spur, Little River Road from Sugarlands Visitor Center to Townsend, the top two miles of Newfound Gap, and the Elkmont entrance road.

Operations will be completed between 7:00 a.m. and 12:00 a.m. on Monday through Thursday. Weather delays due to rain could cause the project to continue beyond May 22nd. During the operation, traffic will be reduced to one lane for short sections. Motorists should use caution when they encounter the road striping operations and pay close attention to traffic control devices along the roadway.
